A Clean Contemporary Fairy Tale-Inspired Romance
This was a magic Carly had long forgotten existed. It was like she’d been asleep for the last five years…and was just now waking up.
But the one to awaken the princess shouldn’t be the one who left her behind. Even if he’s turned into a handsome airman who wants to make things right.
Carly:
Five years ago, after Alexander took off, enlisting in the Air Force and leaving his high school sweetheart behind, Carly had wanted to fall asleep and never wake up. Picking up the pieces of her heart and the future that he’d promised her was painful. But with her grandfather’s help, Carly found a life she loves on Topsail Island, North Carolina, selling her art and keeping house for her grandfather when he travels for work.
Unfortunately, disaster strikes while her grandfather is away, and Carly finds herself unable to care for herself and without medical insurance. A fateful meeting, however, brings her face-to-face with the one man she thought she’d never seen again, and when he begs for the chance to help her, the chance to make things right, Carly knows she can never trust him again.
Especially when he suggests a fake marriage to do it.
Unable to live on her own, however, Carly grudgingly agrees to become his wife, but in name only. As soon as her grandfather comes home, she’s going to be done with Alexander forever. This is supposed to be a fake marriage, after all, a way to get her the medical care she needs until her grandpa comes back. So why does kissing him feel like waking up? Why does it feel like coming home?
Alexander:
Once upon a time, Carly smiled a lot. Now, even in her pain, Alexander can see hints of the spirited girl he adored. She was smart and adventurous and had the snarkiest sense of humor he’s ever met. And, based on the way she nearly smiles at him now and then, he can only guess…or hope, rather, her old affection for him still lingers somewhere inside.
But running away from home the moment he turned eighteen left scars behind, and convincing her to let him make up for the past is going to be hard. He never meant to leave her behind, but something went wrong, and Carly refuses to understand. Saying Carly can be stubborn was like saying winter is chilly. But Alexander is determined to do what’s right this time. And he can be stubborn, too.
